President Zelenskyy's Connection To Former President Trump

Former President Donald Trump's now infamous call with Zelenskyy led to Trump's first impeachment in 2019.

The world is impressed, inspired and some people on the internet are swooning for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. 

But the former comedian, actor and Dancing with the Stars winner was part of our national conversation long before the last couple of weeks. Former President Donald Trump's now infamous call with Zelenskyy led to his first impeachment in 2019. Trump pressured Ukraine's newly elected president for dirt on then-candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter and appeared to threaten to withhold military aid until he got it. 

Yes — the same kind of military aid Ukrainians are using now to fight off the Russians.
